Perché abbiamo sempre confuso il "Mercato" con il "Capitalismo"? Secondo Fernand Braudel, Il capitalismo non nasce dal mercato, ma vi si poggia sopra per dominarlo. In un'era di oligopoli e monopoli questa distinzione è la chiave per capire dove sta andando il potere economico.

US-Israel nuclear trap Under immense global economic pressure and facing a domestic inflation crisis, President Trump,in coordination with Israel,made the fateful decision on March 21 to bomb the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz. Iran has interpreted this strike as a

Chris Morlock The quest for new markets is the driving-force of capitalism. How the system's agents find those markets and what they do when those markets cannot be readily found determines the options and paths forward available. The available (not by any means mutually exclusive) options

The Future of War Is Here Drones emerged as viable weapons before Ukraine; the U.S. pioneered them as a military tool in the wars after 9/11. But Ukraine took their use to a whole new level. When Russia invaded Ukraine with massed infantry, armored fighting vehicles and

It had been a while since I read something so foolish. The Chinese are happier than ever. They are carefully observing, photographing, and documenting every doctrine and vulnerability of the American navy and air force. They are laughing at the depletion of interceptor stocks

Nothing Will Be the Same for a Long Time The world we knew has changed and will remain different for years to come. We were still recovering from the effects of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine when the new war, started by the United States and Israel, struck hard at the

He is born in 1809 in Sorochyntsi, in a province that does not yet know whether it is a periphery or a center, whether it belongs to the empire or to its own quiet mythology, and perhaps it is precisely within this in-between state that Nikolai Gogol appears, not as a writer of

Make no mistake: destroying world-class universities, like the US just did with Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, isn't just an attack on Iran but it's literally an attack on all of us, on all of humanity. It's not Iran that "won" when Maryam Mirzakhani made her

Sorry for getting all my analysis wrong. The war was a resounding success! Iran will now open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the war started The same Strait the U.S. could have opened, but asked NATO to help open, and NATO refused to open, and now Trump is

Now everyone will have to buy their energy, fertilizer, petrochemicals and energy-intensive commodities from two main suppliers: the USA and Russia.

The US, as the leader of the West's economic system, must increase its share of the world marketplace to prevent further economic deterioration and eventual collapse. The longer the Middle East is in conflict and the longer energy and downstream commodities are cut off the better

Food for thought. Yes, the New Great Game is unfolding. No nation stands to gain more from a closure of the Strait of Hormuz than the United States, across the short, medium, and long term. This logic is embedded in President Trump’s National Security Strategy, with the

“How do I know I am not being deceived?” In 1641, René Descartes asked exactly this while sitting by his fireplace. He began stripping away every belief he could possibly doubt, sense perception, memory, even mathematics until he reached a radical possibility: what if everything

What you see every day on European television is a carefully edited story: Ukraine is “winning,” the West is “united,” and everything is under control. I wish that were true. The reality inside my country is very different. Entire cities and towns have been reduced to rubble.

Sir Roger Penrose just delivered a masterclass in physical skepticism. In this sharp exchange with Brian Cox, he dismantles the dangerous allure of mathematical aestheticism. We often fall into the trap of assuming that if an equation is beautiful, it must be true. But Sir

Why it is absurd to describe Russia as a fascist or imperialist country: None of the economic or political forces that were at work in 1920s and 1930s Germany (high debt, paltry natural resources, weak aggregate domestic demand, hyper inflation) exist in Russia today.

Capitalism versus Communism/Socialism: What's the Difference? The essence of three economic systems — capitalism, communism and socialism—can best be understood by comparing three different approaches toward successfully hitting a

I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed, we will be remembered, not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit. - JFK

Украина не является территорией, колонизованной Россией. Украина является территорией, появившейся благодаря России. Она является одним из государств-преемников Российской империи, также как царство Селевкидов явилось не жертвой колонизации со стороны Александра Македонского -
